CLIMAX UNVEILING.
Woodmen Honor Mentor)' of William
Henry—Other Notes,
Sunduy, June Cth, was a pleasant
day In Climax, never to be forgotten
by her people or those visiting there.
A quiet little village, away from the
rush and roar of the great cities,
surrounded by fine farms of golden
grain and waving corn fields with
pretty little cottages dotted here and
there, all betokened peace and pros-
perity. The day was perfect, a typ-
ical June Sabbath. About 9:30 a.
m. people began gathering at the
Vanwinkle cemetery and at 10
O’clock the Climax W. O. W. Camp
unveiled a beautiful monument to
the memory of William Henry. The
ceremonies were beautiful and im-
pressive. The music w-as led by
Prof. John Stinson of Princeton.
The poem was recited by Miss Bnna
Fagala and an eloquent address on
Woodcraft was delivered by Rev. L.
A. West of Farmersville. After this
the people went to Pleasant Grove
cemetery ofie mile east. It was plan-
ned to decorate the graves there but
the dry weather had blasted all the
flowers, and this part of the pro-
gram was omitted. Out under tho
large shade trees, a bountiful dinner
was spread and we can’t enumeiate
the good things to eat. and Just
plenty of it for everybody. Mr.
Perkins, we didn't have “o'p" urn”
but plenty of fried chicken.

ikig along splendidly in life. He
has a wife and seven children, three
girls and four boys, all at home and
just as industrious as they can be.
The evening that we arrived at this
home, they had just finished chop-
ping out 50 acres of flue cotton, and
the cultivators came right along be
hind the (hoppers. Mr. Gray and
Ills estimable family came from
North Alabama and we have no hot
ter people in this great state. They
are highly esteemed and appreciat-
ed by the entire citizenship of that
country. Mrs. Gray is a noble.
Christian lady, and dispenses hos-
pitality at her homo with a kindly
hand. Don't know when we spent
a more agreeable time, than while
at the home of J. B. Gray. You feel
better, and have a much higher re-
gard. and greater confidence In hu-
manity In general after meeting and
mixing with these kind of folks.
The Wylie country is full of beau-
tiful homes, and well cultivated
farms. The people are high-toned,
and moral, and up-to-date In every
particular. (Save one—putting on
airs, keeping up with the style, and
fool-fandangle of the present day,
which is turning the world topsy
turvy, and going hog wild and crazy
after the Immortal dollar.) Our
stay In that country was brief on ac-
count of the extreme dry weather
which affected business of all kinds,
but now that the refreshing showers
have come and old mother earth Is
yielding up a bountiful and golden
harvest to gladden the hearts of
those who have tolled long and
faithfully, we shall visit that favored
locality again at an early day.
